Launcher Connection Error

[Lonkkis]

Still got loading issues with launcher, forums and lodestone. Tried every trick in the book, like resetting IE, flushing DNS, releasing and renewing IP, swapped from WiFi to cable to make sure it wasn't that, etc etc. Even ran WinMTR to secure.square-enix.com (as it was suggested in an earlier post) with no packet losses at all.

VPN is the only thing that works currently, as does the use VPN to login, then switch to own network before character select screen.

And I do not have any issues with any other website, service, launcher and whatnot. Only SE sites and services are having this issue at the moment.
